Ya so if I completely stay out of boost(most of the time), and I drive mostly if not all highway, I can get about 265 to the tank before the light comes on.

423? what kind of tuning did you have done. Sounds like you tuned the fun right out of it. I played Mr. lightfoot all the way back from Chicago to Minneapolis and I got 308 miles. This is with the MR in stock form. 423 sounds like part of the tuning included adding an 18 gal tank.

302.8 @ 12.73 Gallons. This was <2500rpm shifts and about 70% city which is great mileage, but I don't think I could do this again. Shifting that low is quite a pain.

I wish we had 16 gallon tanks. Doesn't seem that much, but those two extra gallons would make a big difference.

Same here, 320ish. I've gotten that on more than one occasion highway driving, a/c going full blast. I don't think I've ever had below 200. Boost is not my gas card's friend, LOL. I rationalize it this way...I take it easy most of the time and when I really need to, I'll gun it. Otherwise, why waste the money. Spend it on mods! Just picture yourself slipping a few $ bills out the window every time you mash the loud pedal. Then again, I drive, on average, about 100 miles/day so it adds up for me and it pays to stay out of boost.

I consistently get 25-27 MPG. Driving is mostly 5th gear highway, with some occasional short blasts.

On a road trip the other day, I got 306 miles until it read below E. But when I filled up I could only put in 13 gallons. So this would calculate to approx. 23.5 mpg. I ran the AC quite a bit, but drove mostly mellow on the Hway. Mits states MPG of 19/26

I'm curious to know the answer to this question as well. Considering you dont rev past 3k, no boost and drive under 75mph, also with normal vehicle weight (1 or so passengers no luggage)

I got 27.5 mpg, with about 75% of that being on the highway. I was pretty happy considering I usually get about 20 mpg. I noticed the biggest factor in gas mileage for me is not revving over 3000 on the freeway, which is bout 70mph. It's really hard for me to drive this speed considering everyone in California drives 90mph on the freeway.
